But it’s not just couples who need to find the right gift, so we’ll also be serving up some suggestions if you’ve got parents or grandparents, friends or family who will soon be celebrating their 50th anniversary.

Gold – The traditional and modern anniversary theme

If you’re looking for a way to show your spouse how much they mean to you then there are plenty of options for golden anniversary gifts. The modern and traditional theme is gold, hence the reason for calling it a golden anniversary. There are however, also anniversary gemstones and anniversary flowers. On this special occasion the gemstone is gold and the flower a violet. Don’t think that you have to use any of these themes. This is your 50th anniversary so the choice of gifts is yours.

Gold has been the theme for a 50th anniversary since the Middle Ages, when a husband would give his wife a garland made of gold. A garland may not be the kind of gift your wife is expecting, but don’t worry because there are lots of alternatives. Time to look at some of your options if you’re looking for a gift that is made of gold.

Golden wedding anniversary gifts for a special lady

Half a century of marriage means you’ve gone through all that life can throw at you – good and bad. In spite of it all you’ve stayed true to each other and are still happy and in love. Quite an achievement we’ve got to say, because life is not easy on relationships. Something special is called for that has a personal touch from the heart, so consider one of the following:

A golden anniversary ring – Add a special engraving and this gift will become very special. You could also have matching rings that are set with your birthstones.

A heart-shaped pendant – It’s possible to have it engraved with some meaningful words or have a photo etched on it. This is the sort of anniversary gift that has been made totally unique

A professional photo-shoot – Have some professional photos taken of the two of you and pop them in a gold frame along with a photograph from your wedding day.

A scrap-book of memories – This is always a memorable anniversary gift but even more so when it’s a 50th anniversary that’s being celebrated. With 50 years of wedding bliss under your belt you’re bound to have heaps of memories.

Time to renew your wedding vows – Your lives have probably changed many times over and the vows that you said 50 years ago could do with a little updating. This is also a perfect opportunity to invite family and friends to your ceremony.

Wrap your gift in gold paper – This is a perfect way to stick with the golden theme if you’ve decided to choose a gift that’s a little bit different.
